  1. Maybe you could create a desktop app version so it is easier to get your pdf´s on PC.

  2. I have been using GoodNotes for a long time on my iPad and now I have installed it on my new iPhone. On the iPad version, you can come to a multi-page view, where you have the option of selecting, then copying, rotating, moving, or duplicating the selected pages. On the version for iPhone, you come to multipage view, and then you can select pages, but the only options offered once you have selected are Export, Move, Duplicate, and Trash. This makes it impossible for me to copy pages from one document to another. If by mistake I import some…

  3. The old version used to allow the iOS clock to be visible at the top of the screen. In the new version, the clock is no longer visible. This is much cleaner, however, if there are other users like me who teach a class using GoodNotes with my lecture notes, having that clock visible is pretty important for keeping the class schedule. Would it be possible to add an option for a clock to display on the GoodNotes menu bar?

  4. I'd really like to pick my three default colours that come up in the zoom section when writing, instead of having black, blue or red. I'm dyslexic and find it easier to read things I have written in colours, so it would be quicker to switch between multiple colours if I could change these default ones! :)

  5. Add Jot Script support for iPhone, now it just works with iPad but it is actually really nice to write on the iPhone to, thanks to the zoom feature!

  7. Add/integrate the SDK from Adonit for the new Jot Script just announced. This stylus has a 1.9mm tip and is suppose to produce the best experience for note-taking. Just make sure you can disable pinch-zoom while writing to prevent any unwanted issues while writing (maybe have manual buttons for zooming in the menu bar when connected to the stylus?)

  8. I just purchased the app today and all I can say is that it's amazing! I can now stop carrying my notebooks with me, which makes life a lot easier. I think fluidity is important when it comes to note taking, and not having a eraser on the Zoom Window gets in the way and is a distraction. If you guys can add this feature aim sure many users would appreciate it!

    Keep up the good work! I'll definitely recommend this app to all my colleagues who are trying to go paperless.

  10. When I search it would be nice to have any book marks included in the results. I book mark my handwritten pages. Currently when I search it does not include any bookmarks

    In GoodNotes 5, we added the option to add custom outlines. This is similar to the bookmarks feature from version 4 where pages could be named. The outline items in GoodNotes 5 are searchable.

  13. Yellow/beige paper is fine on the iPad, but when exported in PDF the whole document is the same colour and wastes a lot of ink when printing.

  14. Entering a hex value is difficult when needing a precise color not found I the palette. Can we have a color wheel with brightness slider, similar to UPAD for color selection? Thanks!

  16. I just bought this pen, and it's by far the best bluetooth tablet pen I've ever used. Just the right weight, comfortable, the pressure sensitivity is perfect, and you can even use it as a regular stylus in any app.

    But the only supported app, Bamboo paper, is not very good for note taking.

    Please consider adding support for this superb pen.

  18. Please give us the option to make sub-categories. I seem to remember that Goodnotes had promised this upgrade, but it's not in Goodnotes 4.

  19. My writing is sloppy, and hard for others to read. If I could write down my ideas and convert them to another font, it would be great!

  20. Move Folders anywhere you want (SubFolders) is #1 !!! ex: Semester 1 Folder with subfolders for each class!
    Total organization so there aren't like 30 folders.
    This is what the people want!
    We Hope this Update can be apart of GoodNotes!
